Ascendant

Idol laying beneath the searing tide
Wallow in this, our despair
Follow from beyond the stars aligned
Only where the gods may go

For too long
Though I dreamt of truth in fruitless effort
To no avail
Or so I thought
Or so I felt

Stagnation mired within our discontent
Oblivion consumed our desire for rebirth
Occult-like fervour, we heed the call
Arise, no longer bound

I can see it
I can taste this
Sense of freedom within despair

Bound within the shroud of apathy
Stealing all that we hold dear

This feeble flame shall grow
Rising from below
Bathed in the light of the pyre's glow
For the die now cast
As the ash begins to fall
Abyssal is the weight
The price we must pay

I can see it from the void
This deity's design so hail this king's idol as god

This feeble flame shall grow
Rising from below
Bathed in the light of the pyres glow
For the die now cast
As the ash begins to fall
Abyssal is the weight
The price we must pay

I son of the fire
Accept the task before me
Resolute in our affirmation

Now you see it
Oh how the scales have tipped
For the weight of what's to come

So break the cycle
To be reborn

No longer bound
Divinity's grasp is at hand
Clawing its way up from the depth

Devour this flesh
Let it run its course
As the golden blood flows
Ascension is
YOURS
TO
CLAIM
